XL2000 - Data Validation Lists

[LPS]

Using Excel 2000, is there a maximum number of characters which can be
entered for each list item. In other words, what is the maximum width of
each data item used in a validation list? Also, aside from the number of rows
in a worksheet, is there a maximum number of items you can include in one
list? Could a validation list have 65,536 items in it? I have looked in
Debra D.'s instructions on "Contextures" but could not find a specific
reference to width or number of items limtiations.

All help is greatly appreciated.

From my own testing...

I was able to create a list with 32767 different items in the list(using
range of cells). Was not able to max out character limit per line, but do
note that the drop down box does not have a horizontal scroll, so your
visible viewing area is limited.
